Chang Hao sobbed and wiped his tears as he said, “The doctor said that if your father’s leg can’t be operated on in time, it has to be amputated in the future. Qingqing, what do you think our family will do if your father’s legs are amputated in the future? Although your school waived your tuition fees, your living expenses won’t be able to be settled. In the future, we will still need someone to take care of your father, visits to the doctor, and medication.
Everything needs money.”
Hearing Chang Hao’s words, Jia Qing’s heart was in a mess. On one hand, she was worried about her father, and on the other hand, she was worried about her future.
She had racked her brains to squeeze into this school. She could not lose this opportunity to change her fate.
However, if her father’s legs were really amputated, not only would she not have any expenses for food, she might even be forced to drop out of school to go home to take care of her paralyzed father or go out to work to earn money.
If that was the case, her life would be ruined.
“Where’s Brother? Where is he?” Jia Qing asked.
Her brother, Jia Song, was a year older than Jia Qing, but because Jia Song’s studies were not good, he entered society early.
Therefore, Jia Qing felt that her brother should do something for her father.
Chang Hao’s expression was slightly off. Then, he said, “Your brother is hiding because he injured someone in a fight. I wonder where he is now? He hasn’t appeared for a long time.”
Hearing Chang Hao’s words, Jia Qing felt her entire body tremble with anger.
Their family was poor to begin with. Their mother was a housewife who occasionally took on odd jobs.
Her father worked at the construction site and earned money. Other than giving her some expenses for food, the rest was either for drinking or gambling.
She even had such a troublesome brother. Such a family made her feel deep despair.
“Mom, can you borrow some from a relative?” Jia Qing asked.
Chang Hao sighed and said, “How can we have any relatives? They all despise our family for being poor. Why would they lend it to us?”
Jia Qing naturally knew in her heart. The relatives around them were all poor to begin with. In addition, her father had often borrowed money in the past few years, so those poor relatives naturally did not like their family.
Just as Jia Qing was at a loss, Chang Hao suddenly pulled Jia Qing back and said, “Didn’t Yinyin get brought home by her rich parents? Didn’t you say that she’s your classmate now? Can you go borrow it from her?”
Jia Qing suddenly frowned. Borrowing money from Lin Yin?
In the past, Jia Qing would have felt that there was no problem at all. In the past, even if Lin Yin didn’t have money, she would help them raise money.
But now that Lin Yin had returned to the Su Family, she seemed to have become a different person. She didn’t think that this Lin Yin, who despised the poor and loved the rich, would lend her money.
Jia Qing could only say truthfully, “I’m not sure if she’ll lend it to me?”
“Why wouldn’t she? Didn’t she say that she didn’t have money the last time we asked her for money? Didn’t she come to give us money later? Now that she has money, she won’t be so stingy,” Chang Hao said.
Jia Qing looked at her father, whose legs were hanging high on the bed. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll go borrow it from here. How much do we need?”
Chang Hao twisted his fingers and said, “The doctor said that a conservative estimate is 200,000 yuan.”
“200,000! !” Jia Qing exclaimed.
When Chang Hao saw Jia Qing making a fuss, he immediately began to wipe his tears again and cried, “Two hundred thousand yuan is still too little for two legs. If you want him to return to his previous state, we’ll need at least half a million yuan.”
Jia Qing felt like her head was about to explode.
“Qingqing, 200,000 yuan is a little too much for us, but to Yinyin’s family, it’s just a bag and jewelry that’s not worth mentioning. Think about it. Just ask her for some jewelry or a bag, and she’ll definitely give it to you,” Chang Hao persuaded.
In the end, Jia Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Then I’ll try.”
After Jia Qing left, Jia Rong, who was originally lying lifeless on the bed, instantly opened his eyes and smiled. “Looks like this move is still useful against Qingqing. I wonder if Qingqing can bring money.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be able to get it. Won’t our son’s betrothal gift come then?” Chang Hao said happily.
“Then what if Lin Yin wants us to return it?” Jia Song, who came out of the corner, asked.
“What’s there to return? We borrowed so much previously, but Lin Yin didn’t ask for it to be returned, right? Besides, this money was borrowed by that girl, Qingqing. She can just settle it herself. What has it got to do with us? Just wait for that money to be used as a betrothal gift to get married,” Chang Hao said..
